For years, I have been learning how to be free from fear. Left unchecked, fear has the potential to manipulate our decisions and paralyze us. To preoccupy us and steal us away from the present. To consume us.

The more we feed our fears, the more they grow. Fear leads to more fear. But I've learned to recognize fear for what it is.

Fear is human. It's ok to feel scared. It means we're growing.

Fear is a habitual liar. But lies lose their power when we stop believing them.

Fear is an emotion. It only has the power we give it. We decide weather we give fear the power to dictate our decisions. And there is an immense freedom in that.

I used to think I needed to be stop feeling fear in order to experience freedom from it. But I've learned that bravery is not the same as fearlessness.

Bravery is freedom from fear. Bravery is feeling scared and doing it anyway. So do stuff you're scared to do. Just be a little bit brave. We're already free; we just have to start believing it.

Hi! Welcome to my blog. Whether you stumbled upon this page through your friend’s friend’s Instagram or you’ve been following for a while, I’m glad you’re here. Thanks for stopping by and letting me share my life with you.

I write mostly about the places I visit and the people I meet. I love to write for the same reason I love to travel: because it teaches me a new way of seeing the world.

This blog is about saying yes to the things that make you feel alive. It’s about rolling with the punches and embracing uncertainty because not everything will be smooth sailing. A life of adventure is full of challenges but I think it's worth it. Here's to saying yes to adventure, whatever that looks like for you.

Thank you so much for reading and experiencing this journey with me! :)
